The outrage against Apple last week though came from different places. There was the Social Media Rage, nostalgia, and the usual tech skepticism.

On the other hand I can happily say that I am pretty satisfied with what I have on Linux today already. 🤓

We are receiving an increasing number of requests regarding a VisionOS version for #iAWriter and #iAPresenter.

Design takes time.
